Sed is a Unix command.  Therefore it follows Unix line end
conventions.  If it didn't, it would be broken, and many scripts that
rely on its correct behavior would also be broken.  I don't see why
you would expect otherwise.  It's like meeting an English-speaking
person and expecting him to also understand French or Hindi because
other people understand those languages.
